There's a scan floating around. February 2013.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Will include street pass functionality with special lithographs you can obtain in-game. Not a whole lot of details right now.

Stuff is floating around on the web if you wanna take a look. Can't post though, of course.

Edit: Clarified some street pass stuff. Also, looks like it might actually be a full 3D remake. Awesome.

 

[slaughterking]

SHOCKING NEWS is what the title should say.

 

[Kazerei]

3DS: flawless victory in Japan

 

[MLH]

Eh, going to need a better source than just a scan, it could be a photoshop for all we know.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Dammit, I have no idea who posted first on that one. Hahaha.

 

[Hero of Legend]

O_O

LIES!!!

Right?

If true, is Arte Piazza behind it? Works since they co-developed the original, GS should help out, being Heartbeat once upon a time.

 

[Opus Angelorum]

Is this a big deal? I'm not familiar with the franchise.

 

[Blablurn]

3DS keeps rocking and rocking.

 

[Mailenstein]

Just saw it on 2ch. So good～

 

[V_Ben]

Huh, all I heard about 7 is that it was crazy long and that you had to fight god. Interested...

(Prays for 8-4 translation)

 

[archnemesis]

Really? I just started playing my PS1 copy. What kind of improvements can we expect?

 

[vareon]

Boom.

 

[Netto-kun]

Damn, guess I'll just leave my PS1 copy the way it is.

Dammit, I have no idea who posted first on that one. Hahaha.

Your post has slightly more info anyway.

 

[Wiz]

Pretty sure this will be eventually localized too. Great news.

 

[Crazymoogle]

Want. So much. The original is really rough alone the edges and can use a portable update.

 

[Takao]

Eh, going to need a better source than just a scan, it could be a photoshop for all we know.

It's from JUMP. Do JUMP scans usually leak on Tuesdays?

 

[GCX]

February: Dragon Quest VII
March: Monster Hunter 4

Boom.

 

[Kouriozan]

Finally, that rumor was true.
Never played 7 so I'll have a reason to play it now.

 

[edgardavids]

Is this a big deal? I'm not familiar with the franchise.

in japan oh yes.

 

[Bruno MB]

It was about time!

 

[ShockingAlberto]

A popular JRPG with VII in the title, eh?

 

[BGBW]

Having only played VIII and IX I probably should try some of the older entries.

 

[mclem]

FINALLY the rumour bears fruit!

 

[Opus Angelorum]

in japan oh yes.

In the same league as?

 

[Volcynika]

I support Ryouga

 

[Tenbatsu]

creamsugar strikes again!

 

[RPGCrazied]

remake? like better visual? Hell, I'd be happy with just a port.

 

[Peff]

Having only played VIII and IX I probably should try some of the older entries.

You should. Go get IV and V for the DS.

 

[Pooya]

Is this a big deal? I'm not familiar with the franchise.

DS remakes were million seller each, this should do really well.

Dragon Quest V 1,190,404
Dragon Quest VI 1,297,344
Dragon Quest IV 1,214,610

for the DS.

 

[Electivirus]

Edit: Beaten.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

BOOM! Day one

 

[slaughterking]

In the same league as?

DQ is in the same league as Monster Hunter and the highest selling Nintendo franchises. Of all of of them DQ is probably the lowest selling one, but it's still huge.

This is just a remake, though. So expect a lot less from that.

 

[SovanJedi]

This is the ridiculously long one, right? Is it better than 4/5/6?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

In the same league as?

Other Dragon Quest remakes.

 

[Zierath]

Yes yes! Give it to me now!

I've been waiting for this. Finally my favorite DQ gets remade.

 

[kurahador]

MEGATON!!

wait...the visual going to be the same like DQIV-VI isn't?

 

[Saroyan]

Awesome news if true, I've been thinking about picking up the PS1 version, but its a bit expensive for a complete copy. I'd much rather wait for a new 3DS port.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

I never played 7, so I'm actually really looking forward to this.

I remember thinking it looked ugly as sin in the PSX screenshots I saw back in the day. It'd probably look pretty solid on the smaller 3DS screen.

 

[Takao]

In the same league as?

Biggest/second biggest (I'm not quite sure) third party franchise in Japan. Not exactly an unexpected occurrence as the DS remake series was very successful, and Square Enix has already released 2 Dragon Quest games on 3DS>

 

[A Human Becoming]

Having only played VIII and IX I probably should try some of the older entries.

I wasn't a fan of VII, but I did play it many years ago. I'd try the DS games first. V seems to be the most highly acclaimed of the three.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Creamsugar: (laughs)

I CAME

Should we start begging for a localization? THIS IS GOING TO BE GLORIOUS

I love DQ games. T_______________T

Out Feb, wow, this is how companies are supposed to announce games!

 

[Hero of Legend]

Found it, it's in 3D as expected, only two screens (one of which is really small), looks great, much better than Monsters.

 

[Macstorm]

Now if only Nintendo Enix of America will be bothered to bring this one over...RIP Pirate Slime and Terry's Wonderland.

 

[krumble]

Hope this leads to a 3DS version of VIII

 

[Brazil]

SHOCKING NEWS.

Can't wait.

 

[Wiz]

MEGATON!!

wait...the visual going to be the same like DQIV-VI isn't?

This one was hinted at a long time ago so I hope that means they're actually making everything 3D. Think DQIX, but better.

 

[apricot]

I've only played IX, so I'll totally pick this up. Really loving playing RPGs on handhelds these days

 

[Polk]

So at last Europeans will be able to play DQ7.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Read this as VIII, i'll go back to waiting.
